Pros

A decent amount of work to be had, a couple of editors and one head editor seem to be good, caring people.

Cons

Most of the editors suck, likely because there is no training or clear understanding of who does what job. One bad review from a client is worth more to the company than 100 good review, so you can't ever count on this job, no matter how much work and caring you put in. HR likes to email angry things rather than talking about them or asking for your side. Great writers are often fired because of a misunderstanding, so clients cannot expect to keep the same writer, even though HR does not consider client needs or overall company needs when making decisions.
